Ask anybody and they will not denyEverybody is a hero in somebody else's eyeChildren will look up to their parents and this will justifyThat humans require symbols with which to identify

Our fathers and our mothers fill an early roleWe often place them on pedestals like idols with a soulThey assist us in our endeavours and teach us self-controlTo navigate life's waters and avoid any rocky shoal

Everybody is somebody's hero, even when you are grownThey will help you from long distance and even by telephoneThey'll alleviate your aches and pains and keep you in the zoneAnd also give you confidence so that you can act alone

Everybody is a hero in somebody else's fameRenowned men and women often use someone else's acclaimThere's always someone in the backroom who sets alight your nameTo enable you to score the goal that wins the final game.
